FILLING INSTRUCTIONS

Make sure the unit is unplugged.
Stand the unit on a table and grasp with one hand.
Pull the reservoir out, away from the steamer body.
The rubber inlet cover is located on the top of the water reservoir.
Open the inlet cover and fill the reservoir with distilled water (which can be found in grocery stores). We recommend that you use distilled water only, as this will prevent mineral deposits in the boiler that can reduce performance or clog the water system.

ATTACHMENTS

CREASER ATTACHMENT – Creates a crease in pants, shirts, blouses and more.
DELICATES BONNET – protects trims and safely steam fine fabrics.

2-IN-1 ATTACHMENT Silicone Band – pulls fabric taut for better results.
Bristle Brush – ensures steam penetrates fibers for a perfect press, even on heavy fabrics.

USING ATTACHMENTS
With the garment steamer off and cool, snap the Silicone Band, creaser or delicates bonnet attachment over the steam head, ensuring it is firmly affixed. At this point, for the 2-in-1 attachment, the Silicone Band can be used or you can choose to affix either the Bristle Brush insert into the channel on the top of the Silicone Band attachment, as desired. NOTE: Only one function of the 2-In-1 attachment can be used at a time.

CAUTION: Use extreme care when changing the attachments after the unit has been in use, as the steam head will continue to be hot.

STEAMING TIPS

First, test unit on an inconspicuous area of the item to be steamed using the lowest STEAM setting to ensure fabric can tolerate the effects of steam. If there is no evidence of damage, you can proceed to use the steamer on that item.
To prepare your fabric for steaming, brush it with the brush attachment. This will loosen the fibers and allow better steam penetration.
Hang your garment or fabric.
NOTE: Avoid using metal clothes hangers, if possible.
CAUTION: If hanging garment on a door while steaming, be careful not to damage the door with steam.
Pass the steam jets just above the fabric where the wrinkles are. It may take a few passes to remove the wrinkles completely.
For heavier fabrics or severely wrinkled fabrics, you may position the steamer head directly on the fabric for a few seconds to remove wrinkles. Be cautious when working with delicate fabrics.
After use, turn unit off by depressing the STEAM button. Then press the ON/OFF button to the OFF position. With dry hands, unplug your garment steamer from the outlet. Empty any remaining water from the tank to avoid leakage. BE SURE TO PRESS THE ON/OFF BUTTON TO THE OFF POSITION PRIOR TO UNPLUGGING THE UNIT.
When steaming, always keep the unit in motion. Do not continuously hold steamer over one area or touch steamer jets directly to fabric for more than a few seconds, as this can cause damage, including shrinkage, melting, or color shift on certain types of material.
In the case of heavier, durable fabrics, such as wool coats or bedding, the TURBO setting and slower passes with the steamer may be necessary to achieve desired results. As always, start by testing on an inconspicuous area of the item to be steamed, using the regular steam setting to ensure fabric can tolerate the effects of steam, and adjust your technique as needed to obtain the results desired.
